Trump eyes quick rollback of oil, gas laws

摘要

Washington—US president-elect Donald Trump is planning to roll back Obamaera regulations on oil and natural gas production on his first day in office, and while he has offered no specifics, he may target regulations on methane emissions and hydraulic fracturing and rewrite a new plan for drilling in federal waters. “On energy, I will cancel job-killing restrictions on the production of American energy—including shale energy and clean coal—creating many millions of high-paying jobs,” Trump said in a video posted to YouTube by his transition team Monday. He also announced a plan to undo two regulations for every new regulation issued.
